That doesn't give you anywhere to put the imx_spi_update_irq()
call, which must happen only on soft reset and not on DeviceState
reset. You could do one of:
 * have a 'common reset' function that does most of this,
   plus an imx_spi_reset which clears CONREG and calls
   common reset and an imx_spi_soft_reset which calls
   common reset and imx_spi_update_irq()
 * have imx_spi_soft_reset save the old CONREG in a local
   variable before calling imx_spi_reset and then restore it
   to s->regs
